Paragraphs
Blocks separated by a blank line.

Frequently asked questions

How are sentences counted?

By looking for terminal punctuation — full stops, question marks and exclamation marks — followed by a space or the end of the text. It is a heuristic, so abbreviations like "Dr." can occasionally be miscounted, but it is accurate for normal prose.
